Pet urns offer a personal connection with a pet even after passing. Only an animal lover can understand the sadness of losing a pet. People tend to view their pets as part of the family, with personalities and charms as distinct as any playful child, eccentric aunt, or curmudgeonly grandfather. So, when a pet passes, the grief is often just as real and the sorrow as acute as if a human family member had passed away. Pet urns are one way to help deal with sorrow in the loss of a pet.

Like cremation urns for people, pet urns come in an assortment of designs, materials and sizes. Following are descriptions of some popular types of pet urns offered by Perfect Memorials.

Stone Pet Urns - Onyx, tiger eye, jade, marble and granite pet urns are available in an array of shapes and sizes. The natural material offers a unique color and pattern on each stone urn.

Metal Pet Urns - Bronze, brass, pewter, copper and aluminum are some of materials used to make pet urns in various styles and sizes. From traditional Grecian-shapes to statues, metal pet urns feature finishes in polished and brushed metal as well as cloisonné, mother of pearl and colored enamel.

Cultured Pet Urns - Cultured pet urns are formed from manufactured substances, cold-cast and fashioned to look and feel like stone, ceramic, or other traditional materials. Cultured pet urns are available in varying colors and sizes as well as a variety of shapes. The most popular designs include dog or cat in baskets, figurines of varying breeds as well as garden rocks.

Choosing the right size urn is easy. For every one pound before cremation you will need 1 cubic inch of volume. For example, a loved one weighing 200 pounds will need an urn that is at least 200 cubic inches or larger. Choosing an urn larger then you need is OK.
